I only wish they were open more.... Great service and so wonderful to have in the neighborhood. My kids, me one of them, love strolling up to the window and asking for a cup of ice. Try the spumoni cream ice.i haven't tried the vegan ice cream buy it's nice that it's an option. They also have regular hard ice cream . I don't think they have soft serve. Get the pint size and split it! It's good for several people and they can mix a flavor.

Great spot for picking up a cold, sweet summertime treat. Servers are quick and friendly, and there's rarely any wait. They have a few seats (outside) but most people take away. It's the perfect ending after a pizza at Jimmy Max. Parking isn't plentiful but it's a nice neighborhood place. Ice cream is good but I prefer the Italian ices. Chocolate peanut butter cup and lemon ice are my two favorite flavors, yum!

I was there yesterday on july 7, 2020 I did not get a chance to back there sooner because of this that Dam Corona Virus, As I was walking across the street I see the Mask Man at the window, not realizing it was the own that I spoke and met the first time. He is absolutely one professional guy, he has extraordinary attitude, and made me feel comfortable the first time I met him and even now he love having a conversation with his customer. I love the Mask Man in the window, but I realize I have to say this about Uncle Louie G, the amount of ice crean or ice he give you is nothing like the others Uncle Louie G on staten island, And This why I will continue to go back there for he real fills your cup up with plenty or ice cream or Ice!!!!!!

We visited this location during the weekend, location is extremely clean , owner is at location and is extremely friendly, his staff is also friendly, the owner talks to you like he knows you personally, has everything in stock and we love when we buy a large amount of quarts or pints , he asks what flavor you like to have “on him” yes ! He gives you a free pint or quart . Now I see why his location has such positive ratings and reviews. We will support this owner now and always . Thank you for making us feel extremely comfortable at your location. See you soon guys and gals . Larry

What a lovely neighborhood place! The owners are friendly, kind, and we feel we have known them for years! Even our puppies feel like family! Both the Italian ice and the ice cream are delicious! My husband's favorite is cherry chip and raspberry- mine is cremolata and pina colada. The portion size is very generous, reasonably priced, and they take cash/credit.

I LOVE Uncle Louie G’s and usually go to the one close to my house but this guy - probably the owner is the Nicest, most accommodating guy and I’d give 10 starts if I could. Is that they’re closing and it’s the end of the season I needed to stock up and his location was the only one willing to help me! I couldn’t say enough nice things about him. All I know is Watchogue Road is MY new location !!!
